2025 Best Bagel

Goldilox Bagels

The friendliest little bagel shop bakes up the region’s tastiest rounds, achieving that delicate balance of crisp-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside goodness. The signature rosemary salt is a must-order, but we also recommend trying rotating specials like cheddar–green onion or cherry–chocolate chip if you’re doing a dozen (which, let’s be honest, you totally should).
